The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Buaben Asamoa, has labelled aspirants who have defied the party’s orders not to mount billboards as disrespectful.
Speaking on Wontumi TV ahead of the NPP’s Annual Delegates Conference slated for 18th to 20th December, 2021, Mr. Asamoa stated that the party would raze down all billboards within banned areas to deter others from doing same.
“You don’t have respect for the party if you mount billboards. Those who haven’t mounted one yet shouldn’t do it. It will all be razed down because…we don’t hate anybody but we will act”, he said.

The New Patriotic Party has banned its members from advocating for individual aspirants, parliamentary and presidential, at the upcoming National Annual Delegates Conference.
In a press release signed by the Director of Communications, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, the party stated that though they cherish the competition, the conference is a time of renewal aimed at enhancing party unity.
Hence, “Prior to and during the Conference on 18th to 20th December, 2021, no billboards and or signboards, banners or any kind of outdoor signage with the images and or names of individual members, with or without the consent of the individual, shall be acceptable.”
“This applies to the area within the Greater Kumasi Metropolis (where the annual conference will be held). All such displays, if put up already, should be removed,” parts of the statement read.
Furthermore, no t-shirts, flyers, brochures, and or souvenirs, branded and or embossed with the portraits and names of individuals, shall be allowed within the precincts of the Conference, including but not limited to places of accommodation for delegates,” Mr. Asamoa wrote.
